People keep saying that people are buying this but who? I mean, yes Vogue Paris wears his stuff (for free) and I see the stuff on NAP. But I think they are ordering so little (and only in one or two sizes) that it sells out quickly (I wouldn't imagine they carry more than 5 pieces of a certain dress). Is it Russians or Middle Eastern buyers? Because I have a hard time believing they are making a genuine profit off of this. Then again the profit margins are so high because of the inflated RRP

Meg, I agree, I wonder the same thing. I was on Browns the other day and noticed that a Balmain cotton tank (not even any kind of special blend of cotton) from last season was over $2,000.00. I mean... I'd REALLY like to know who's buying this... not only for how bad it looks but for how INSANELY overpriced it is. Rodarte's knits were about the same cost as a Balmain tshirt.....
